Thank you guys for the additional info. Never to much. I greatly appreciate all the help on this forum. I have been reading a lot and watching A LOT of videos/reviews regarding the Remington 700 and the Nikon Monarch scope. I must say im impressed and sold on both choices and I think I am going to be quite happy. The only "flaw" (if you want to call it that) is that the Remington 700's are not floating barrels. They look like they are, but they aren't.

I found a 9 video series on you tube of a Scottish lad in the UK floating his Remington 700 SPS. He mentions he has never done it and from what I have seen I think I may be inspired to buy a second stock and try it myself down the road if I feel the gun could use it. I know that the gun would perform better but these guns are supposed to be accurate right out of the box so we will see.

I have also been thinking about getting a 6"-9" Harris bi pod. The one thing I don't know though is if they are detachable or if they need to be either installed or uninstalled. I wonder because I could see some situations where a bi pod would be nice and others where it could just get in the way and if it were able to just detach based on the situation then that would make it so much easier. Now I don't know if I would be getting it right away or not but just an idea I'm kicking around.

Well tomorrow is the big day.
